Watch this lunatic in action.
It’s a good thing this psycho didn’t go off and murder this poor fella.
Easy fifty seven grand though. He should have gotten a million.
Both the chief and the officer no longer work with this department.
Had this guy had a gun on him, legal or no, this cop would have killed him.
The biggest reason I don’t like carrying guns: crazy cops.
You just never know when you’ll meet one.
Be safe out there. Good luck. You’re gonna need it.
Sigh,…
While I certainly do not disagree that there are bad cops out there…
There are just as many good ones!
And many times as many who are totally neutral and just trying to get through their day!!!
Honestly, most of my personal experiences have been positive!
I say “most” as 2 of the multitude of encounters I’ve had were NOT positive!
Even when an officer stopped me on an obvious “DUI” check,… (1:30am I just left work)
The expressed reason for the stop,… my vehicle matched a hit and run suspect! (Crooked cop, (Not a dent on my car))
I simply asked him to take a step back and look if my vehicle looked like it had been hit?
He never even asked for my ID! +
My ex wife called saying I had threatened her,…
I flagged down the inbound officer, he let me know that the video I had was great,…. But I needed to NOT leave her presence until they arrived. Just to make sure she didn’t hurt herself before they got there and blamed me for it 
He went on to drive my drunk ass well out of his jurisdiction (against regulations,… especially considering it being a DV call…). And he dropped me off at a Starbucks near my buddies house!!! +++++!!!
Come on man!!!
There are some seriously amazing cops out there!!! (The vast majority)
Sorry,… edited my post
I’ve been lucky, too. Except once.
I had a life changing experience in working a decade in Las Vegas in the Gaming industry. I was in contact with cops daily and saw what they really do. I had no idea. Crazy.
Ever since I’ve been interested in how the whole thing works.
These days, its not only that policing is in a bad way for so many other reasons, but police action is caught on cameras evetywhere, including their own. The bad actors are getting the exposure they deserve.
I’m not against the police. The good ones who are out there doing their job have all my respect and cooperation. Those who don’t will get a lawsuit and a mugshot on YouTube.
I’m surprised that given the officer’s subsequent actions he didn’t take action when that driver put his hands in his pockets (6:02) or reached inside of his truck (7:01). I could have been worst.
The sad part is, that even when these cops get fired they often end up being hired at some other precinct. For some, it’s a wakeup call and they are good, others continue their abusive ways. Not to make excuses for this officer, but the one thing I always want to consider in these situations is what they may have recently been through. As one of the most stressful and dangerous jobs out there, it’s very easy to become overly aggressive as a defense mechanism. Especially if you have recently had a dangerous encounter.
Actually, it’s not one pf the most dangerous, stressful jobs out there. Cops come in around the high thirtieth percentile when it comes to dangerous jobs. The truth is, cops are more of a danger to themselves and the public than we are tp them. The reason you hear cops are in danger all the time? Whiny cops always crying about how scared they are and how we need do more to accomodate them while they abuse us. Cops don’t become psychos. Psychos become cops.
Cops like you to magically think they are dropping dead left and right from dangerous criminal assault. The truth is, only ten officers were killed by criminals in 2023. And some of those could have been easily avoided, but their mistakes, overreach and hyper-aggression got them in a jam.
You know what kills most cops on duty? Reckless driving and playing with firearms. Yep. Those are two of the biggest killers of cops on duty. Cops doing stupid sh*t and offing themselves is mostly how they get killed at work. They kill a lot of us, too, with their reckless ways.
Cops lives are generally messy and dangerous. Forty percent are wife beaters. Fifty percent are substance abusers. Though they make far more than they are worth, their financial lives are a disaster. Cops aren’t smart enough to handle money. IQ is barely average in most cases.
Yes, it’s sad when they quit their job while being investigated, only to hop over to another department and start abusing their power again, but sometimes they get charged anyway, sometimes they lose their certificate before they move. And we are working to make it so the cop’s record is permanent and public wherever he goes for his entire career, so he can never escape nor cover up any of his crimes nor malfeasance.
This info includes assulted officers and killed combined. I am talking officers killed only. Furthermore, an “assault”, as far as a cop is concerned, could be anything from getting a booger flicked on him to getting a hangnail while he was trying to assault you.
Plus, we need be skeptical. The info comes from the ultra-corrupt FBI with the ultra-corrupt swamp creature, Christopher Wray at the helm.
The cops make their claims same as other whiny, cry-baby institutions like, Black Lives Matter. They don’t use real numbers and statistics and neutrality, reason, objectivity, but they use instead feelings, propaganda, wishful thinking, phony bawling during speeches in front of the public and just flat out lies. Check any job report having nothing to do with the cops and the numbers aren’t near the same. The cops lie and stretch. Practically nothing they say can be believed. They’re always hurt, hurting for money and always begging for more sympathy and cash. They’re all the same.
To hear Black Lives Matter tell it, Blacks are being felled by cops left and right, in the thousands every year. The truth is, only maybe fifteen Blacks were killed in the last 365 days, maybe not even that many. And, so long as we’re on the subject, cops kill nearly double the White folks as to how many Blacks they kill. Whites are always surprised to learn this fact, but it’s, oh, so true.
The cops like to tell the same lies about their stress and other cry baby nonsense as any other org.
It’s simple: if you cant handle your job, it’s too much for you, too stressful, too dangerous, too hard for your soft yellow belly, cop… quit. Find something you can handle better.
From the bulletin:
The study of the data reveals, from 2021 to 2023, more officers were feloniously killed (194) than in any other consecutive three-year period in the past 20 years (73 officers in 2021, 61 officers in 2022, and 60 officers in 2023).
Cool! Even if these numbers are true and correct, these numbers are low.
Especially when you compare them to the number of cops killing themselves and the number of innocent citizens being murdered by cops. A murdered cop is indeed an extremely rare thing. Only approx. one per week, according to these numbers.
You must also consider the fact that ALL cops are volunteering for this job. No one is making them do it. So when they get hurt and killed it’s just part of the job, like any other worker who risks his life far more dangerously and far more often than any cop. At least the worker produces a product. The cop produces nothing his entire life. So you must also consider his contribution to society, which is absolutely in the negative 100% of the time. In other words, cops owe us, big time. They are in our debt. Same as any other welfare recipient.
Cops aren’t special and deserve no special recognition nor treatment. So let’s stop glorifying cops and start holding them to account. It’s time.
Sorry you had to grow up believing that.
(And no, I will not attempt to disuede you of your belief, just like you won’t have any luck changing my opinion.)
(And no, I was never a cop.)
I am fully in support of the cops. Was once a reserve officer. Did have one bad experience though. I was driving an old country road to get home. But, in a hopped up arrest me red ‘73 Mustang. There had been a bad accident earlier due to a 12’ drift over the road and this poor schlub was directing traffic in a snow storm, bitter cold. Well, I thought he was motioning me through the narrowed road. I explained that nicely (at least as nicely as a 19 year old kid is able to muster). He said he was telling me to stop. But, the lousy part was that he broke a headlight with his baton. Wrote me up for failure to obey an officer and the equipment violation. Now, many years later, I can see why he may have lost his sense of humor.
I didn’t.
I never had a problem with cops and still don’t.
Facts are facts.
Cops, love 'em or hate 'em, they are what they are.
I don’t love nor hate them. They’re just there, like the wind. It is what it is.
Though I have seen a lot more of cops than most people. That much is true. For folks who think cops are just Blue Angels protecting you while you sleep, I can assure you that is emphatically not the case. I’ve seen way too much of them to ever think that again.
Maybe you don’t hate them. I don’t know you from Adam.
I will rephrase. Short of thugs in the hood, you have the lowest opinion of cops I have ever heard, and I’ve been around a long time.
Myself and a friend approached a cop road block at an intersection. When we got to the light it was red and my friend stopped. The cop was standing in the intersection directing traffic. He motioned for my friend to pass through the red light and the intersection. I told him, “Don’t go! After you pass, that cop on the side up ahead is going to pull you over and give you a ticket for running a red light. This is a trap! Wait for the green!”
“Wha…?! F*ck you! Cops would never do that! You been watching to many TV shows.”
“Whatever you say. It’s not my ticket.”. At that, my friend passed through a d got pulled over and received his ticket from the cop ahead. Then he got another ticket for “disorderly conduct” when he protested loudly a d angrily because the other cop waved him on through.
Two weeks later, the same intersection, I’m driving alone. Same cop, same waving me on through a red light. I just sat there. He screamed at me, “Get moving!” I smiled at him and sat there. He started for my car. I checked the windows and doors were closed and locked. He screamed again and demanded I pass through. I smiled and stared at him shouting at me. He yelled some more. I laughed in his best red face and temper tantrum (when isn’t a cop having a temper tantrum?).
The light turned green and I stepped on it, surprising the cop, who looked up and saw the green light. I went through the intersection, slowing down on the other side to give a little smile and a wave to the cop in his car. He gave me a hard look and I laughed and passed him by.
Mind sharing where this happened, so I can do my best to avoid it for the rest of my life?
I’m no thug, no criminal record whatsoever, not even a traffic ticket. I live on a prairie in the middle of nowhere.
I have a low opinion of cops who obviously deserve it. I have a much higher opinion of cops who are respecting the rights of citizens and doing what they’re supposed to be doing.
